AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision
Which of the following statements regarding centre of mass is NOT true?
- A For two particles of equal mass, the centre of mass lies exactly midway between them
- B For three non-linear particles of equal mass, the centre of mass coincides with the centroid of the triangle formed by the particles
- C When the total external force on a system is zero, the velocity of the centre of mass of the system remains constant.
- D For two particles of different masses, the centre of mass of the particles is nearer to the particle of lesser mass.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) For two particles of different masses, the centre of mass of the particles is nearer to the particle of lesser mass.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Option (d) is incorrect because the centre of mass o two particles is nearer to the particle of higher mas not lesser mass.
